I'm sure I have more data on this tucked away somewhere on my hard drive. But I've processed what I've found. ( I swear I had at least 6 hrs worth)
3hr 30min of exposure time. 4min and 5min subs, ISO400 and ISO800
A real mixed bag. :)

I added some diffraction spikes to the second version, just for something different. :)

Nice NGC 253, JJJ! The second one with diffraction spikes looks bigger. Is that an optical illusion? :lol:

[peter_4059]

You must be happy with those JJJ. I reckon the spikes version is the best ;)

[Shiraz]

yep, like the one with diffraction - really pretty images.

[jjjnettie]

Not as pretty as yours though. :)

Beautiful Sculptor image JJJ. I prefer the 2nd one also.

That's right up there at the top edge of DSLR images.

Wow, they're excellent, so much detail!

[LewisM]

Love them Nettie, but I go against the stream - no diffraction spikes ;)

[Larryp]

Nice work, jjj!

[firstlight]

Noooo... don't fall into the trap, JJJ. Diffraction spikes are just evidence of data being lost :lol:.

[prokyon]
